“I believe this will be the ultimate fate of Bitcoin, to be the ‘high-powered money’ that serves as a reserve currency for banks that issue their own digital cash. Most Bitcoin transactions will occur between banks, to settle net transfers. Bitcoin transactions by private individuals will be as rare as… well, as Bitcoin-based purchases are today.”

 “In March of 2014 we sent Nathaniel Popper those files, documenting email exchanges between Hal and Satoshi,” Fran Finney told CoinDesk. “The files were retrieved from the computer Hal was using for personal email in 2009 and were provided with Hal’s consent.”]

Previously Unpublished Emails of Satoshi Nakamoto Present a New Puzzle.

The following two emails are from Satoshi to Finney. In the first one, from Jan. 8, 2009, Satoshi notified Finney about the release of version 0.1 of the Bitcoin software. It was sent just a few hours

It appears that Finney had replied to Satoshi, letting him know that he would try to look at the code over the weekend (Jan. 8 happened to fall on a Thursday).

I'd like to hear some specific criticisms of the code. To me it looks like an impressive job, although I'd wish for more comments. Now I've mostly studied the init, main, script and a bit of net modules. This is some powerful machinery.

That means a lot coming from you, Hal.  Thanks

Es bastante probable que a raíz de lo que va suceder en el juzgado de la Florida, en el caso Kleiman vs Wright, la narrativa cambie completamente de:

Craig no es Satoshi o Craig es un fraude,

a:
Satoshi estaba equivocado, el White Paper no es la biblia, Satoshi y el WP forman parte del pasado y por tanto ya no tienen ninguna importancia, porqué os tomáis el WP y Satoshi como si fuera una religión?

Cualquier cosa será válida salvo mirar al pasado y comprobar que lo que dice Craig hoy, tiene los mismos valores que en el pasado 2008, 2009, y 2010
Una frase que se repite en criptoland es "Don't trust verify", o lo que es lo mismo: no confíes verifica", pero me da la impresión que ni los que dicen esto han verificado si, lo que dice Craig hoy, tiene los mismos valores que en el pasado 2008, 2009, y 2010.

Eso es algo que he estado haciendo últimamente y para ello me he tenido que leer muchos de los documentos originales de la época:

Satoshi didn't have a 1MB limit in it. The limit was originally Hal Finney's idea.  Both Satoshi and I objected that it wouldn't scale at 1MB.  Hal was concerned about a potential DoS attack though, and after discussion, Satoshi agreed.  The 1MB limit was there by the time Bitcoin launched.  But all 3 of us agreed that 1MB had to be temporary because it would never scale."

Re: Permanently keeping the 1MB (anti-spam) restriction is a great idea ...
